Queer Smuggling Devices.

- In Paris there exists an interesting museum. Since the existence of the pctroi dues which are levied upon a 'lgsyreat variety of articles, a good many people who in other regards are proba- ply honest enough, are induced to en- deavor to defraud the revenue. In this museum are kept some scores of the most clever devices of professional or amateur smugglers which have from time to time been seized at the barriers of tho city or at the custom houses throughout the country. Most of them are exceedingly ingenious, and some are, indeed, of nature to suggest that in France even smugglers possess wit.
 What appears at a casual glance to be a block of Carrara marble is really a painted sheet iron box, It arrived at the frontier in train from Italy, along with five similar ones. A curious de- pression on one of the blocks aroused the suspicious of custom house offic1al and, upon official examination, the trick was discovered. The boxes were filled with ballast to mako them heavy, and at the bottom of each lay $5O00 worth of Venetian lace! A pile ot innocent looking logs of frewood, such as arc burned in Paris, were found to be hollow metal tubes, covered with the bark of trees, and filled with dutia- ble liquors. But the most amusing ar ticle in the collection Is tin footman, who formerly graced the box of a sty
 fish equipage which passed through the gates every afternoon, bearing the emi- nently respectable and gentlemanly owner on his daily drive. For while the customs officers went through the form of searching the carriage or asking for dutiable wares, but when it became apparent that the owner was simply 2 gentleman out for an airing with q stately coachman and an impassive, stu pid footman, they took to touching their caps and allowing the turn out to pass unquestioned. One day, after scv- eral months of this friendly ,capping, a jolt threw the footman to the ground before the eyes of the officers, who hastened, in honor, to stay the fast-fow ing blood of the unfortunate lackey
 The blood turned out to be champagne and the injured footman tin case, il which the master of the carriage hac been smuggling for months.
